The remark is made in reference to bs:h
national and state elections. Here Is q
comparison in which the figures are taken
from the books at Little Rock: For the
six years the republicans were in power
in Arkansas it took S8, ,j32, ,232 to run the
state government. During the twelve
yesrs Of democratic rule just closed only
1856 500 was necessary to run the

The Farmers Alliance in Texas j:
growing rapidly. Why should it flourish
so in Texas and die in Arkansas? Be,
cause the order in Texas will have moth
ing to do with politics. Because politics
in such organizations swallows up the
original intentions and the fundamental
principles intendended to benefit the
farmer. Texas farmers, it seems, do not
suffer demagogues and petty ofiCeseekers
to bamboozle them and lead them about
at will like they have done in portions of
Arkansas. Texas farmers are democrats
or republicans. Side issues and attempts
to establish third party don't take in
the Lone Star state, nor any where else,
to hurt.

Birthday Anniversary.

One of the most pleast events of the season
occurred Monday at the residence of Louis
Sturdavant, in honor of the 18th birthday of
David Hoy. Quite a large number of rela-
tives and friends from different parts of the
county were present; the company began to
assemble at remarkably early hour, and the
happy greetings and enjoyable visit during
the day will be long and pleasantly remem-
bered by all present, and among the many
enjoyments was the good dinner prepared by
the good women; it would be useless to at
tempt to describe this rich feast, it is suf-
ficient to say it was not only complete, but
really grand in every particular. Mr.. Hoy
presented very attractive appearance
Seventy nine busy, earnest years have passed,
but time has dealt gently with him, although
his beard is frosted over with many winters,
and made impress upon his face and form,
yet his heart seems young, the glow of life
and love unimpaired, but rather to increase
with his years; he bore his honors in modest
and pleasing manner. Before the company
dispersed, some appropriate remarks were
made by Rev. Colwell. Mr.. Hoy was made
recipient of number of presents, and after
wishing him continued happiness and pros
perity through life, the company took their
leave and dispersed, each feeling it was good
to be there. There was 70 present in all.

EDITOR NORTHWEST An editorial appeared in
the last weeks Signal, evdel tly written by one Of
the attorneys engaged in the Probate Court, in the
matter of exceptions to the final account of Mrs.
Sheffield, administrative of the estate of her late
husband, and apparently intended to belittie the
counsel for the exceptions and impress the public
mind with the idea that the exceptions were frivo-
lous, filed simply to annoy Mrs. s. and through the
able efforts of her ableattoneys resulted in good
to the estate, but in favor of Mrs, s.
Now If we examine the truth ia this matter, we
will find thereby the suppression of the facts In that
editorial, many of the saliant points in the case are
not shown.
First, In the final account Mrs s. makes the
estate her debtor TO the amount of 81, ,656.O9 and
gives the estate credit for S2 $50 0S its propro
tion of the $4,000 of insurance money received by
her the life policies of her husband and to which
the estate is entitled under the law of this State in
the opinion of the attorneys for the exceptions.
Mr.. A.er faithful to his trust and to the interests
of the creditors of the late Arm of Sheffield & Nor
ton, was not satisfied with the showing made by
Mrs S. and hence filed exec ptions to her accounts,
setting forth errors therein, besides the $12 in
surance money, the items which made up the 81 $685.
90 in her accounts, as due her.
On the hearing of these exceptions the court held
that he had no jurisdiction over the insurance mon
ey-that the Court of Common Please must settle
that question: and declined to make any order there
in but he found errors in Mrs Sheelds accounts to
the amount of 81 ,99999 or there abouts, exclusive
Of the interest allowed her by the courts for money
she claimed to have advanced toward paying the
debts of the estate thus saving to the estate by the
exceptions, at least the sum of $1,O7922, and for
which the creditors offs. N will feel grateful to
MIR. Aller; and under the circumstances, who can
cay that he has done re in the premises
than his duty and his oath required of him?
